    Xiaomi Mi 4i is Slim, Cheap and Colorful

    To be honest getting a one plus wasn't exactly a hard task,1 forum post got the invite, and afterwards more invites kept getting sent, ended up with 7 people at my work using one plus one's now. The only reason they made it "invite only" was because they couldn't meet the demand due to limited...

    Bell to Track Canadian Phone, TV and Internet Habits for Ads

    Considering our privacy laws in Canada haven't completely been obliterated yet like other countries, it will be interesting to see if this new policy survives

    Obama Admin Wants to Allow Web Wiretapping

    The noose gets tighter... Blame Obama all you want, but in reality it doesn't matter who's in power, democrats or republicans, all of them will push for this. I guarantee you right now if there was a republican president in the white house right now the headline would be "INSERTNAMEHERE Admin...

    Wi-Fi Sniffing Like Wiretapping, Court Tells Google

    Right, so basically the government doesn't understand the difference between encrypted and un-encrypted traffic. As for private/public networks... If a network is open, how do I know if its intent is for private or public use? Having an open wi-fi network is no different than me going...

    Samsung Outs World's First Curved Ultra HD LED TV

    Right now its OLED or 4k... retarded if you ask me. Why would I get a 4k TV using LCD technology that's dated... When OLED and 4k come together as one product (and 4k actually has supporting media to watch), I'll buy into this stuff, until then what I have is plenty good.

    Why 'World of Warcraft' Is Dying

    There are only so many ways you can pretty up the game before the 'new' is just a slight alteration of the 'old'. The fact that they got a decade out of this game is impressive. I played vanilla, as well as each expansion, but each expansion held me less and less, to the point where in mists I...

    WhatsApp Will Charge $.99 Yearly Fee on iPhone Too

    I'm quite happy with whatsapp... a dollar a year isn't exactly an unreasonable amount to ask... considering its ad-free which many of the other 'free' apps are not... I'd rather pay a buck a year than deal with adverts.

    BBM is Finally Coming to iOS and Android

    As was already mentioned, Whatsapp appeared not shortly after Blackberry teased us with cross-platorm BBM then back-peddled on their promises. Me along with many other hopefuls have since then joined the Whatsapp world... Quite frankly I have nothing to complain about, it works just fine.

    Apple Pulls 500px App for Allowing Easy Access to Nude Pics

    Open safari, type 1 letter 3 times, BAM! I fail to see why Apple feels they have to police this issue, I'm pretty sure its quicker to browse for porn in apple's browser than it is to get it through 500px...

    Activision: Xbox Infinity, PS4 May Face Same Wii U Woes

    I wouldn't consider the Wii U pricing big bucks... Confusion seems to be the correct answer for why the uptake is so slow... Personally if I wanted to play a game on a tablet.... I'd use my tablet... If I buy a console i plan on playing it on my big TV... don't understand why Nintendo can't...

    Google Banning Devs From Updating Outside Google Play

    To be honest it makes sense... Look at it this way, if people choose to download apps outside the play store, they do so knowingly and also take on the inherit risk that the app may not be safe. For people who don't want to worry about malware and other risks, play store makes sense, its a...

    Report: Next Xbox Will Be Always-On, Games Run off HDD

    Meh i see this as an advantage, its like PC gaming, install game, put disc away, don't ever need disc again. I'd rather this than have to scroll through my library for the physical disc just to play the game.

    Australian Firefighters Call Apple Maps 'Dangerous'

    You're using a consumer app to report emergencies... Last I checked the iPhone was still capable of calling 911 (or the Australian equivalent if its different)... ITS A PHONE PEOPLE, IT CAN MAKE PHONE CALLS!!!

    World of Warcraft Movie Lands "Source Code" Director

    Granted movies made from video games have had a bad reputation... But how many video games have had as much lore and back story as the Warcraft franchise? There's plenty of literature to pull from for this movie, it really shouldn't be any different than making a movie from a book series. Its...

    Google+ Reaches 500 Million Users, 135 Million Active Users

    i still can't navigate the facebook app on my phone, it's crap! Google+ definitely has the more solid mobile interface... Unfortunately none of my friends use Google+ so I'm stuck with the facebook.
